Baia dei Sogni - Seaside Beach Club — Attraction in Rapallo

Amazing beach and staff. It’s secluded, peaceful, and the men who run it are absolutely lovely. They saved my life (ok, slight exaggeration) by finding sun screen for me, left by a previous family.

A few pointers: 1. Call ahead and make a reservation. They’ll save your spot! 2. Do not forget to bring towels, sunscreen, bathing shoes (the gravel and paths get scorching HOT), any food/drinks. There’s a sweet little cafe for espresso drinks, cold drinks, gelato pops, and snacks but not what I’d call full lunch. 3. DO NOT FOLLOW GOOGLE MAPS DRIVING DIRECTIONS. They take you down pedestrian-only paths, which it causes all kinds of drama. If you’re not staying in Rapallo, park on the main street and walk. Ask for a chaise closet to the wall/shower, as you’ll be in the shade, away from the scorching sun, come afternoon time.

Generally, I’d say that this is definitely a locals’ spot, as in amazing for people staying in Rapallo. We’re staying in Camogli and, though we had the best day here, it was just too difficult to get to if you’re not coming on foot...

Cozy clean beach, the rocks are fine to walk on without beach shoes (no spiky rocks), clear water. The owner is very friendly and helpful and speaks fluent English! We called 2h in advance and he kindly reserved spots for us (35 eur for 2 lounge chairs and an umbrella on a weekday in July). There is a freshwater shower and changing cabins. Amazing experience for our first...

Small casual beach club, Fredrico is fantastic as he tends to the beach chairs and makes sure all looks good and in order. Actually Everyone is super nice. Was here in the middle of July, we called ahead and made a reservation for two loungers and umbrella. They have the perfect swimming area with a picturesque background. Loved it. Can’t wait to go...
